It's only been a few weeks since Top Gun: Maverick debuted in theaters and everyone is already obsessing over Tom Cruise's triumphant return to the big screen. Nearing four decades after the original Top Gun captured audiences, folks are getting to see what's happened to Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.

Set 36 years after the first installment, fans follow Maverick as he trains a new class of Top Gun recruits (Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Jay Ellis — just to name a few). While he's busy confronting his past (after all, the son of Maverick's dead best friend Goose is among the rookie pilots), Tom is not the only one along for the ride.

In fact, fans may see some familiar faces pop up throughout the film. Namely, viewers will instantly recognize Val Kilmer reprising his role as Maverick's former foe-turned-friend Tom "Iceman" Kazansky amid all the new storylines being interwoven into the roots of its predecessor.

So, now that you know what the movie is about, you'll understandably want to stream it. Luckily, you won't have to wait too long to see it with just a click of a button. Here's all that you need to know about watching the action-packed drama online.

Where to watch or stream Top Gun: Maverick:

So here's the good news — Top Gun: Maverick will definitely be available for you to stream on Paramount+ sometime this summer. But there is one catch: Don't expect to see it anywhere until at least July.

Despite there being no official release date, Paramount has garnered a reputation for allowing new movies to play in theaters for at least 45 days before dropping them on their premiere streaming platform. Since Top Gun: Maverick debuted on May 27, it's best to assume that the movie will not be available for streaming until around July 11.

So how can you watch the movie once it drops? Well, you'll definitely need to get yourself a Paramount+ account first. If you're a new subscriber, you can try out a one-week free trial before opting into plans that start at $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. The platform also gives a 25% discount rate for students, so if you qualify for that, absolutely check that deal out. If you're already a subscriber, all you have to do is check out the movie page on the website or the Paramount+ app.

In the meantime, why don't you plop on your couch and stream the original film? Happy watching!
